⁶ Because it is contained in Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed."

¹⁶ therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner -[stone] of sure foundation: he who believes shall not be in haste.

²⁰ being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

⁴ coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

³² Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

³³ even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; And no one who believes in him will be disappointed."

⁴ From him will come forth the corner-stone, From him the nail, From him the battle bow, From him every ruler together.

¹⁶ They shall be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them; they shall go into confusion together who are makers of idols.

¹⁷ [But] Israel shall be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be disappointed nor confounded world without end.

¹⁰ Haven't you even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner.

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

¹¹ For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed."

⁴ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

¹⁶ Every writing inspired by God{literally, God-breathed} is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction which is in righteousness,

¹⁸ "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

²¹ But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince."

⁷ For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.

¹⁶ as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

¹⁶ "Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.

³⁵ The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!"

⁴ Don't be afraid; for you shall not be ashamed: neither be confounded; for you shall not be disappointed: for you shall forget the shame of your youth; and the reproach of your widowhood shall you remember no more.

¹⁹ Then you spoke in vision to your saints, And said, "I have bestowed strength on the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

¹¹ Behold, all those who are incensed against you shall be disappointed and confounded: those who strive with you shall be as nothing, and shall perish.

¹⁴ Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
